Abstract

The invention concerns a connection or assembly system whose separable components include connectors (1) with one to eight frame connections, supports (2, 16), connection screws (3), frame members (4), connection elements (5), vertically adjustable base elements (6) and mountings (19, 23, 26). These elements can also be made of wood. The connection system is used in particular for constructing accommodation units and assembled furniture as well as for complex configurations for interior design plans (shop-in-shop systems) and exhibitions. The invention is characterized in that the skeleton structure of the connection system is stably connected since the pressure of the supports (2), (16) on the frame members (4) anchored in the connector (1) is brought about by connection screws (3). The connectors (1) according to the invention are characterized in that they are divided horizontally and up to eight notches (7) with bores (8) and longitudinal grooves (9) can be made in the opposite internal sides of the connector halves in order to accommodate and adjust the frame members (4). In order to fit therewith, each frame member (4) is notched on both sides of the resting end and is inserted in the associated bores (8) in the connector halves by means of a, for example, pinlike locking element (12) which extends through the part remaining after notching and projects on both sides of the latter.

Description

~069 2 Connection system, in particular for consl~ .h accomodation units and ~ssembled furniture Description The invention relates to a connection system or &ssell.bly systern, respectively, whose demountable components may also be made of wood and which is intPnfle~7 in particular, for the construction of accomodation units and ~Qcembled furn~ture as well as for complex configuration~
for intenor design plans (shop-in-shop systems) and exhibiti~ns Demountable components for the construction of accomodation units and assembled fi~rniture are usually made of metal parts. These metal parts invo1ve high m7nllf~eturing effort. Frequently~ they are very heavy ant have no or only n~inor decorative e~ect with constmction details o~en ~Indesirably visible.

From D~ 39 33 845 A I, a framework joint is known for the detachable jointing t)f a support element having a recess at its front end with at least one purlin elemeM, via a supporL head. The support head has a body e~ment whose shape, at least partly, corresponds with the shape of the recess in the support ele~nent. The subsequent flange element has one or several connection elements projecting in the opposite tirection ofthe body elemPnt, which can be e~gaged 4ith a purlin joint plate protruding from the front ent ofthe purlin el~mPnt This approach features a complex structure connected urith high assembly or di.~a~se~nbl~
respectively, efforts }n G 92 11 ?.30.3 a flexible wood component is tescribed which is designed for the construction of accomodation units and assembled fun~iture. This wood component coniists in a com-ection joint with up to 8 frarne couplin~s, supports, connec~ion screws, cover plates and base elements On assembly the frame elements or the horizontal girders are only hung in the connection joint using one-sided do~els.
A decisive disadvantage of this approach is the danger that the ~rame element w~ll be sheart:~l o~l at lhe resting point. Due to the one-sided rest of the frame element the joint does not hold an~les, despite of the hi~h material expenditure also the total stabili~y is unsatisfactoly.

~069 2 In EP-A-0126657 a connection joint is described which is characterized particularly by its Inetallic assembly elements.

The connector is tubular, hol ;~onlally divided, and the tube walls have slots starting fron~ the plane of tivision.

The ~ame elements are hung in these slots and bears against a dovetail recess on the inner wall ol`
the tubular connector.

To clamp the connection joint a through screw, which cooperates with a separate clamping device, passes axially thorugh both tube se-.;ors ofthe connector.

Based on this state-of-the-art, it is the object of the invention to ~limin~te the above drawbacks and to extend the filnetior~ ty and therewith the application range of tho e connc~,l;on or assembly systems. Additionally, a connPrt;on system is intended v~hich, even if the demountable components are made of wood, balances the disadvantage ofthe wood's low strength in spite of minim~l dimensions of the constructional parts.

Accor~iing to the invention, this problem is sol~ed by the features of Claim!i 1, 4 and 5: the subclaims present other useful developments of the invention.

Sturdy connection of the skeleton stmcture of the connection system is reached by the pressing pressure of the supports acting on the frarne ~IA ~f ~ which are anchored in the connector by means of the connection screw.

In addition, the plate elements, which are mounted between the frarne elements, for example by tongue Md groove, see Claim 2, or the two-sidedly supported consoles suspended between filnctiona~ supports according to (:~laim 9, provide the nec~cc~ly angular ~tability.

l`he characteristic feature of the conrlectors according to the invention is that they are horizon~ally divided and that up to 8 recesses with holes and lon~tu~in~l grooves can be made on th~ opposite inner sides of the connector halves to accomotate and adjust the frame ~-le~2-ts. Each ~ame element has matching notches on both resting ends and is inserted in the associated bore~ orthe ~ ~ 0 ~ 6 ~ 2 ._ connector halves by means of a, for example, pin-like locking cle.,~ which extends thr- ugh Ihc part remaining a~er notching and projects on both sides of it.

By this invention, a constn~ctionel principle has been created which offers extended applications also if madc of wood with the wood's sll ~ lh values. Assembly and disas~n~bly can be done extremely cimply and rapidly w~th a durability if made of wood appru~in~at-31y equivalent to that if made of metal components.

l`he cc)nnection system according to the invention can be horizontally extended without limits, and can be vertically raised until the static ~I.e33dbility has been reached. Up to ~ firame elements can be jointed to a conne~,lor in one plane, This allows conigurations llp to octagonal construction~.

In addition to spatial constnuctions assembled of wall building components, reception desks, tables, platforms, cabinets~ shelves, showcases, bF -rl ~ etc., can be assembled.

C~laim 2 enables the extension of the connection system ~th functional and aesthetically appealin~, plate elements.

The functionality of the conn~ctiQn system can, as described below, further be extended by th~
construction, according to the invention~ of functional supports inserted in particular sections of the frarne structure, accord~ng to Claims 4 and 5.

These tùnctional supports can be designed, first, such that they have a lon,~it~ in~l slot which divides the solid support over its full length or over sections and is located between the thre~d~d bushings in the front ends of the filnctional supports (for screwing with the connectors).
In the range of the longitudinal slot or the lo~gitutlin~l division, for example, pin-like couplers are fitted vertically lo the longitudinal axis ofthe filnctional support at grid po~ition~. which connect the halves of the fi~nctional support each to the other.

Then, these fiJnctional supports can be longitudinally divided to form two ~alves of any cross-section, which are spaced from each other and connected by the pin-like couplers. A~ain, the threaded bushin~s for the ~ssemhly with the connectors are inserted in the front end~. One nr 7. ~ ~ ~ 6 ~ ~

.

~everal consoles or other holding devices can be vertically atjustably slided into the longitudinal slot of the functional support and subseq~ y be hung in and fixed using the couplers.

It follows that the width of the lon~;h~ nq' slot or the ~ist~nee between the two halves of the functional support, rc;,~ecl;~rely, must correspond with the th;AL nPs~ of the consoles or other holding devices in the sliding area.

The consoles can be hung in functional supports one-sidedly or two-sidedly; they are intended to bear, among other things, shelves, rails and cabinet components.

Any console which has been slided in the long1t~in~l slot, is locked using indents which are made in the ents of the console. The on~si~ed console has, on the assembly site, two indents for a given angular position of the console ant three indents to select one of two given an~ular positions of the console.

The two-sidedly suspended console must have only one indent on each end of the console.
The free lengths ~outside the areas where the consoles are slided in the longitu~l;n~l glots of the tùnctional supports) ofthese two-sidedly sucppnr1~ consoles can carly additional riding elements to balance for height differences and ensure certain functions.

Instead of consoles, ring mounts as punctual supporting elements can be fitted over the whole len~,th ofthe functional supports. They slide on the functional support and thus, can be vertically adjusted. They are locked on the desired height of the functional support by means of a bo]t~
which transversely passes through the ring mount and the longitudinal slot of the filnctional support and which, in analogy to the consoles descnbed, ~ng~ges with the ~csocisted coupler by means of an indem on its lo~er side when pushed in place.

In assembled condition the locking bolt passes through the longitutinal slot of the functional support and engages with the wall of the ring mount opposite to the ~olt handle.Bores are in the ring moùnt in which, for c~a~.,pl~, clothes rail~ can be put.

ln the chosen example of embodiment to Fig. 1 to 5, all components of the connection system~
with the exception of the connection screw 3 ant threaded bushing 1 1, are made of wood as the material but~ of course, other s~lit~hle materials may al~o be used.

Fi~. 1 and 2 show the design principle of the connection system in the range of a connection joinl .
The filndamental element is a vertically adjustable base element 6 with the integral lower half of the connector 1. This half takes in its notch 7 and bore 8 the frame member 4 by means )f ~he dowel 12 (as lockin~ element). ~he connection screw 3 is screwed in the threaded bushing I l of ~ ~ o n 6 ~ 2 -the base element 6 and the upper half of the ~nn~lor I is pushed on through the hole 10. The support 2 is turned on the conn~ction screw 3 by means of the inserted threaded bushin~g I I . Thc on~itudinal grooves 9 prevent any tilting of the ~ame elemeMs 4, and the firame elements 4 anchored now in the connector 1, are pressed be~veen the base element 6 and the support 2 by means of the connPction screw 3 re~chir~g angular stability.

l hen the assembly operation is repeated by screwing the con-lection screw 3 into the threaded bushing I 1 of the support 2 and pushing-on the lower half of the coMector I . Af~er inserting the plate element 14 into the groove 13 of the lower frame mAmhPr 4 by means of the tongue 15. lhe upper frame ,nc.l-bcr 4 is pushed into the lower half of the connector 1 and ~n the tongue 1 5 Or the plate element 14, the upper half of the connector 1 is pushed on and screwed by f~rce. I`he connection element S (Fig. 5) cornplet~ the construction on top.

Fig. 3 and 4 present the invention by its details w~th proportioned dim~ cns; Fi~. S shows an assembled segment of the framework.
ln this example of embodiment - the di~mPters of conneclor I and support 2 are approx. 60 mm; the ~ tnPtpr of the connector I in the connection zone is 70 Tr~n, - the length of the connector 1 in assemblet con~ Qn is l 00 mm, - the cross-sections of the frame .lle"~ ,. s 4 are approx. 30 mm x 15 mrn or 60 mm x 1 S mn1, respectively, - the diameter of the vertical through hole 10 is 1 I rnm and of the bore 8 is approx. 4 mm.

The connector 1 is made as a standard compo~ent and has always 8 joints for frame members In ~pecialty designs the connector 1 has only the required number of joints.
The connection screw 3 should be made of plastics or metal, the threaded ~ushing 1 1 of plastics.
The system parts of the wooden framework are, as a rule, natur81 wood; they may be stained in RAL colours.

The plate elements 14 are made of plastics, metal, glass or wood, depending on the application.
Frame structures are possible.

The filnctional supports 16 and consoles 19, 23 chosen for the example of embodiment in ~ig. 6 to ~, are made of woot; the filnctional supports 16 have circular sections.

~ ~ n ~ 6 ~ 2 Of course~ other materials and sections may be used.

The filnctional suppons 16 to Fig. 6 are column-shaped with a longitudinal slot 17, which e~tends over the entire distance ofthe filncti~m~l supports 16 between the threaded bu~hing~ 11 in both front ends.
The threaded bu~hing~ l l enable a connection (assembly) to the joint elementsJconnectors 1 not shown, of Fig. I to 5 .

To ac~ as pin-like couplers 18 dowels are inserted in grid distances of, say~ 60 rnrn.
These dowels 18 are, for vertica~ position of the filnctional supporb 16, horizontal and vertical to the section plane of the support halve~ and in this way~ connect the two halves of the fi~nctional supports l 6 in a defined ~ t~nce~

The width of the lon~itudinal slot l7 depends on the thisl~n~cc of the consoles 19 and 23 and i~i~
for example~ approx. 13 mm for a support d;~tcr of 60 mm and a console thickness of l 2 mm.

The one-sidedly sucp~nded console 19 has in a first form of embc~lim~nt~ see also Fig. 8, on the assembly side two indents 20.1 and 20.~, which in CQn~r~lion with the shape ofthe assembly side ofthe console, evident from Fig. 6 and 8, ensure an easy mounting between two adjacent dowels 1 8 in the longitudin~l slot 17 of the filnctional supports 16.
H~ngin~ c)f the console 19 in the fimctional supports 16 is done in such a way that the console is slided into the longitudinal slot 17 in a upwards pointing an~ular position until the upper dowel 18.1 engages ~ith the indent 20.1 and seats, aflcer a rot~tion~l movement ~tilting downwards) of the console 19 with the indent 20.2 on the lower dowel 18.2.

Thc fi~nctional side of the console 1~ opposite to the assembly side, is intended to accomodale supporting elements~ as for example shelve 21, clothing rail 22 and cabinet components.

Tn a second design of embodi~ent~ see Fig. 6, the console l9 has three indents 20, l, 20.2 and 20.3 on the assembly side and is ~sig~ed such that it can be positioned in tw~ diff`erent an~ular positions, for exarnple 90 to the filnctional support 16, or 30 to the horizontal.

In ~he chosen example of embodiment, the ~i~m~ter ofthe dowel 18 is 12 mm and the diarnete~ ol the indents is approx. 13 mm.
2 ~ ~ ~ 6 ~ 2 Fig. 7 pres~nls the con~ole 23 which is two-sidedly suspended in two fiunctional support~ 16.
Both ends of this console 23 are as~embly sides and each ent of the console 23 ha~ on its l~wer site an indent 2û.4.

Thc console 23 is assembled by pushing it th~ough or into~ respc~ rely, the longitudinal slot 11 of both fi.mctional support~ 16 and ch n~r~g the ~lictAnce ofthese fi-n~tiQt ~I supports 16 until the indents 2û.4 engage ~ith the a~coci~ted dowels 18.

The free length of the console 23 can carry riding elempr~t~ 24, which ensure the heiBht balance as well as they fillfill certain ~nctir~nc Such fi)nrtio~ are, ~n particular~ the enh~ncernP~t of the stability of the console 23 or the coupling to suppo, lii~g elements as, for ex~mple, ~helves 21 and clothes rails 22.

The riding elern~nts 24 are conne~lcd to the console 23, for example, by means of a groove 25 in the lower side of the rid~ng elements.
The riding element 24 is slided onto the upper side of thc console 23 by means of this groove 25.
